Citing an article by The Wall Street Journal Thursday and two people familiar with the matter, CNN reported that the intelligence revealed there was a \u201cnew\u201d and \u201cspecific\u201d threat. The details were not disclosed. However, the story added that U.S. intelligence agencies had not independently identified the threat or vetted it.<\/p>\n
Israeli officials reportedly passed the intelligence to Washington in recent days or weeks.<\/p>\n
CNN reported that U.S. officials have monitored ongoing threats against Trump since the 2020 U.S. drone strike that killed Iranian Revolutionary Guard commander Qassem Soleimani.<\/p>\n
Trump told reporters Wednesday, \u201cThey want to take out the U.S. leader \u2014 me. I\u2019m on whatever list. I saw this morning I\u2019m on every single one of their lists. And so far, I guess I\u2019ve been a bit lucky, but maybe that doesn\u2019t last very long.\u201d<\/p>\n
The report comes as tensions between Washington and Tehran continue to be strained over Iran\u2019s nuclear program and recent military strikes. <\/p>\n
During Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei\u2019s funeral on July 5, Reuters reported that demonstrators set fire to U.S. and British flags and held placards in English with the words \u201cKILL TRUMP.\u201d <\/p>\n
Others held posters with the faces of Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth or Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The posters displayed each man in the crosshairs of a gunsight, with the words \u201cThere will be blood.\u201d<\/p>\n
